Hi all,

Is it already possible to identify which packets belong to the server version with
lucid lynx using apt or another type of tool?

I need to install multiple virtual machines only with the server version (without
any workstation packages) and guarantee support of it.

Many thanks.

Not sure if it will suite your needs, but I check individual packages
like this:

jonathan@disclaimer:~$ apt-cache show apache2 | grep Supported
Supported: 5y
jonathan@disclaimer:~$ apt-cache show gcalctool | grep Supported
Supported: 3y

Good. But how can I configure apt to only/install/update, etc .. these packages
supported for 5y and discard all 3y support packages??

That doesn't solve the OP's problem. He wants to avoid desktop packages with a 3 year support window.
